21 months: our breastfeeding journey has ended

i can't believe i'm saying this, boo weaned at 21 months. weaning was definitely not what i expected it to be. no crying fits for her or myself. i was ready and i'm happy to say that boo self-weaned although even now weeks later she will sometimes sign "milk" and look at me questioningly. it feels like boo had a security boob instead of a security blanket and looking back, i believe those last few weeks of nursing were just comfort nursing for her.

i did not experience any discomfort while weaning, my milk supply had to be next to nothing by that point since we were only nursing for a couple of minutes, once per day, if at all.

here is the kellymom link on weaning: http://www.kellymom.com/bf/weaning/how_weaning_happens.html#childled

and here is a little badge i made for myself and friends that have graduated from breastfeeding.
